On the practice of lucid dream-voodling

“ I slept very well indeed, and after seven and a half hours in bed had my first lucid dream in the lab. A moment before, I had been dreaming... but then I suddenly realised that I must be asleep because I couldn’t see, feel or hear anything. I recalled with delight that I was sleeping in the laboratory, in front of my Mac... and that all parts of the dream where simply bits of recorded reality.”Speculating on the oneric nature of certain voodle processes, Sam Renseiw manufactured a short, visual dream like brew.

Today's Bonus Lumiere video features likewise a night scene this time in a modern urban setting.

sorry i never came back and responded! good grief. some people dont think lucid dreaming is real - it can be a bit controversial, i suppose. but i believe in it, in part because i believe i have lucid dreams rather frequently. very interesting stuff. always in control of your mind in some ways - even in your sleep.

and yes, you put a link into a comment just like any other link tag. you cant specify a target link as far as i know, but you can preview the comment first to make sure your code is right.

About Me

'Pataphysics, an absurdist concept coined by the French writer Alfred Jarry, is a philosophy dedicated to studying what lies beyond the realm of metaphysics. Defined as: "The science of imaginary solutions, which symbolically attributes the properties of objects, described by their virtuality, to their lineaments". SPACETWO : PATALAB has functioned in this spirit since 2005 as a dynamic, experimental visual / spatial research laboratory run by SAM RENSEIW. Laced with quotes and useful links, Patalab02 is a forum for subtle, intriguing, complex, enchantingly moving imagery experiments exploring body-space morphologies and other architectures. Enjoy!
